seems the father is a bigot and will always be, let him pride him self on what a good loving farther he is. only he will believe himself
Domestic violence, corruption and violence is never a personal matter.
The Indian cricket board and government should take action to investigate this matter.
Something in my gut tells me we're not getting the whole story here, though the essence of it may be true.
Indeed. The whole living off daddy who we hate bit seems a bit confusing to me
Maybe controlling parents keep their offspring dependant?
They may try, but we don't need to let them. I'm guessing these guys are of high caste and well educated– surely supporting themselves would be a great way to have more personal freedom and maybe even earn daddy's respect.
Precisely, Kris.
I agree it doesnt all seem to quite fit.
I do think an invetsigation into the allegations of corruption and sustained abuse is appropriate.
Cricket authorities need to get involved on a global scale sanction any team he has dealing with !!
Yes indeed! Also he should be made to go to bed without any supper!
Nutjob, did you mean 'section' instead of 'sanction'?
A grim reminder of one side of the ASian Family Values so beloved of Tony Blair and his ilk.
It does strike me as a little odd that a 43yo man, and one who's had a partner for 13 years, is still dependent on his father for money, though.
A media report dated April 30 claimed that Ashwin argued with the staff at the pub after his demand for a drink was turned down post the 1:30am deadline. When the bar officials refused to budge, Ashwin and his friend picked up a fight with them and refused to pay the Rs 30,000 bill they had run up.
According to DCP Pratap Dighaonkar, the Bandra police arrived at Escobar in response to a call complaining that the couple had refused to pay their bill.
"They were detained after Ashwin punched a constable," said Dighaonkar.
Avi revealed that he had met Escobar owner Rakesh Luthria at a suburban hospital, and on his invitation they went to the pub on the night of April 30.
Ashwin and Avi shared photographs of police torture on the night of April 30 and shared their version of the incident.
The couple said they reached around 1am and were told that final orders were being taken. "We asked them to call Rakesh, ordered two drinks and were told this was the last order.
However, once done, the waiters were glad to ply us with more. With no sign of Rakesh, we ordered a few more drinks and a bottle of champagne which they suggested," said Ashwin.
He added, "We were taking it easy when the waiters began hassling us to pay the bill. I said we would once we were done, but they argued. I raised my voice saying they'd have to wait. Suddenly, as if on cue, 12 policemen sprang out from behind the bar armed with iron rods and started beating Avi mercilessly."
Ashwin and Avi were taken to the Bandra police station lock-up and were allegedly beaten till they passed out. They got bail the next day.
Even in 2002, the couple was beaten up brutally and kept in confinement.
"I was kept in a dark room and administered drugs," said Ashwin, adding that he then sought help from Ashok Row Kavi.
"I feared for their lives and helped the duo flee the country to escape Ashwin's father's wrath," said Kavi.
"My father has said openly that Avi is a parasite who has dragged
me into homosexuality because he wants my money. Given his immense powers, it's been very rough on Avi," says Ashwin.
Meanwhile, BCCI president Srinivasan refused to comment. "What is happening is a private family matter. I am not going to comment on that."
From Daily News and Analysis, India
BCCI seem to regard domestic violence and corruption as acceptable in their senior officers – disgusting!
I don't understand how on the one hand he can run up a bar bill of £350 in one night, and on the other claims to be financially constrained by his father.
Priviledged bloke gets whingy when his money supply trickles dry and he has to live in the real world?
What's really going on here? If the allegations of beatings are true, then for sure something needs to be done, but given that his father's not been OK about his sexuality since always how come has he still been doling out the cash?
The father sounds like a bigot.
But why was a 43 year old still living off Daddy?
It is a form of control that wealthy parents use. Socialize the children to a certain way of life that only the parent can provide for.
Divide and rule the children by choosing who gets the inheritance.
All sick power stuff.
i feel so bad for his son. no parent should harm their child!
this dude doesn't deserve to have kids.
Sad how parents do not or will not accept that their children are gay. God creates all and yet some refuse to accept the fact that God makes gays. Sad to see how religious families destroy themselves from within just because their child is LGBT. They all lose in the end with no winners when they fail to accept and help each other.
It's just not cricket, is it?
This story is kind of…strange
A bit like the UK Pakistan Parents who thought their daughter so Westernised that they stuffed a polythene bag down her throat and killed her in front of her sister.
If you do not want your Children "Westernised" then stay in the East and stuff Islam down their throat.
It not really like that at all – these are Indians (and, judging by their names, Hindus) in India.
Typo – It's
We sure can do without them.
Father like this is unfit to be a father. He should take an AVO against his father.
We sure can do without them.
My family was and is far from perfect but, on the whole, I'd much rather have had it than not.
Quite pleased to have my family on the whole – even though they made my life difficult for a while.
And the bigots say straight people make better parents…..
Nasty, nasty stuff. This person has failed as a father.
Just because your son bats for the other side does not give the excuse to hate him.
Depends who the other side is. If it were Lancashire…
I'll stop now.

For DD, it's history
SANJAY KHAN is fast becoming the chief electronic custodian of
India's history. And Doordarshan remains the only channel that
mounts elaborate historical dramas, while its satellite
competition busies itself with tiresome sitcoms and equally
tiresome marital infidelities. Of course DD is heftily
underwritten by the exchequer to do that, and does not always
offer value for the taxpayer's money. Its current Sunday morning
series on the life of Mahatma Gandhi is so basic in its
production qualities as to be an insult to his memory. If someone
came in from outside and watched only this, they would not know
that Indian television production has acquired any sophistication
at all.
Khan and his brother have brought us over the years a number of
television dramas that at least attempt to recreate spectacles
from past history. After "The Sword of Tipu Sultan", "Akbar the
Great", and "The Great Maratha", you now have the 104-episode
"1857 Kranti", which began last month and has completed five
episodes. It airs Saturday nights at 9.30 p.m. on DD National. It
holds interest, if only because it is such a refreshing change
from the other fare on offer.
In recreating India's first war of independence the serial
attempts to re-create the British attitude towards the Indian
princes and chieftains, and the revolt of May 10, 1857, at Meerut
under the leadership of Mangal Pandey when the East India Company
ordered Bengali soldiers to serve overseas. Khan's argument is
that while India's first war of independence in 1857 is not more
than three pages in any school textbook, his production is a
semi-fictionalised account of a much wider span of events that
led up to the events of 1857.
If you go by the production company's statements, they are
spending on an average Rs. 20 lakhs an episode. Some of it shows,
though the opening montage of various slayings depicted in the
course of the serial is a composite testament to bad acting. The
episodes themselves are interesting to watch, as the
personalities of both the Indians and Britons in the story are
recreated. Khan has a thesis which he is exploring in this
serial: were the British strong, or were the Indians weak?
In the episode in which Peshwa Baji Rao is exiled in exchange for
a pension, Lalit Tewari's rending of Baji Rao is a nuanced one,
whereas General Malcolm (spelt Malcam in the serial) played by
Ali Khan in a brown mustache, is a bit of an archetypal Bollywood
Brit. The dialogues are not bad: the Peshwa worries about his
place in history as he surrenders, and his wife reminds him that
history does not have a heart.
When people speak in English, there is a Hindi voice-over. Hindi
subtitles would have been better. Khan is also busy producing
another serial - "Maharathi Karana", from the Mahabharatha.

Goodbye Ruby, with your delicious Canadian Hindi, your early
morning chirpiness, and your bright outfits that were a daily
plug for designer Suneet Varma. Tomorrow morning you will make
way for sermons from the Krishna Consciousness types, a far cry
from the chit-chat with film stars , models and cricketers, the
fond birthday greetings to the Rinkis and Babloos of this world,
and the general bonhomie that made up "Good Morning India" on
Star Plus. The sunny decor of this breakfast show was the
inspiration for half a dozen clones on other channels including
the Southern ones. But it is being banished because while it cost
money to produce, it failed to make enough. Despite being around
for five years. As the official from Star put it, it did not
stack up.
The folks at this company have decided that Indians are not quite
ready yet for breakfast TV. There is not enough of an audience
for it, and therefore no advertisers to speak off.
In the relentless world of market-driven television, that means
off with your head. Bhajans and religious discourses still have a
place. They have wider appeal in a country with mass audiences
and single TV homes, and in any case they cost quite little to
The coming week sees a general reorganising of what the network
is offering. Prannoy Roy and his 9 p.m. news go off Star World
and onto Star News at 9 p.m., and the pattern of news in the
evenings on this channel is changing. Instead of the alternating
Hindi and English bulletins there will now be separate bands:
Hindi from 5.30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and English from 8p.m. to
midnight. The exception is Star's Hindi news at 8.30 p.m..
Bollywood news is shifting from Star Gold to Star News at 6 p.m.,
and there will now be two consolidated bulletins for Sports
News--at 7.30 p.m. in Hindi, and at 11.30 p.m. in English.
Star Plus now sheds any programming that is not straight
entertainment with the exception of "Aaj Ki Baat" at 11 p.m.. Is
that because they do not want to fiddle with Rajat Sharma, given
his connections with the Prime Minister's Office? No, says Star's
programming chief Samir Nair. It is because "Aaj Ki Baat" is the
"best performing news show on satellite television". Better than
anything on Zee News or "Aaj Tak". Really? Apparently. Being on
an entertainment channel obviously helps.

Even as space shrinks in the mainstream media for issues which do
not interest the consuming classes, the Internet is stepping in
to fill the void. The drought may be only intermittently covered
on TV and in newspapers but the Akal Sangharsh Samiti in
Rajasthan has set up an electronic discussion group to post
information regarding the dharna in Jaipur on the drought
situation in Rajasthan. The dharna began on June 14 outside the
State Secretariat in Jaipur and its main demands are continuation
of drought relief works until the next harvest, and provision of
10 kg of grain per person per month through the public
distribution system (PDS).
The economist Jean Dreze, who is part of this initiative, says
the Akal Sangharsh Samiti is an all-Rajasthan network of nearly
60 grassroots organisations independent of any political party.
In an article written for the Hindu and also put on the new e-
group list, he describes how about 300 labourers and small
farmers have come from far and wide to join the dharna, for
varying lengths of time, and how new insights on the drought
situation emerge every day as farmers and labourers from
different districts share their experiences. By starting this e-
group the Samiti is using the Internet to create a concerned
support group for a movement that is upholding the right to food.
To join it you have to send e-mail to
Similar discussion groups exist for other issues which would not
find enough space in the mainstream media. There is one on
community radio, and the Centre for Science and Environment in
Delhi mails out postings on the issues that are making news in
the area of pollution and environmental activism. You have to
send mail saying "subscribe" to firstname.lastname@example.com. There are
also electronic publications such as Bytes for All, which carry
articles on efforts to bridge the digital divide. To subscribe

What do you think of the
Poler Nap Sack Wearable Sleeping Bag: One Season Synthetic
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Michele V
Poler Nap Sack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Poler Nap Sack is so cozy. Cant wait to use this camping and lounging around.
Price in Canadian dollars and shipment fees to Canada for wearable sleeping bag
Shut up and take my money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
not the warmest bag, but easily the steeziest! if you're looking for a nice spring/fall bag this is money. if you're gunna do some colder camping, be sure to wear sweats underneath or bring a blanket
Andy Rice
get this ASAP
I haven't taken it off since getting this. You probably won't either. At 5'9" the L is a little long to walk around without stepping on the bottom, but perfect for laying down to keep your feet tucked up and warm. Maybe I'll get another in M for the versatility????
Amazing, Andy.
MacKenzie C
Best ever!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I first saw this I just thought it was silly. But when I put it on I was in love. I wear this all the time! Around my house, camping and I will probably start wearing it to class. This is a must, everyone should have one.
Lexi Dowdall
Awesome picture Steff !!!
I selected this image to feature on the homepage of Backcountry.com in our Activity Feed! Congrats on being GOATWORTHY !!!
Eric Rich
Too silly!
Casey Glaubman
Pair with this.
In case your sleeping bag-suit is getting wet, pair it with one of these fine Poler products.
The coolest thing I own
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Honestly I was unsure it I could justify spending $130 on a sleeping bad but I went with my impulses. I can say now though, it was the best purchase I've made in a while!
It is super comfortable and extremely warm, without roasting you.
I got it right before Labor Day and it was a god send, kept me comfortable warm and because it is so thick it also kept the mosquitoes away.
I have used it several times camping and misc. and it is surprisingly dirt resistant!
Keri Belle Conrad
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Ben Preston
Did you find the orange version to be warmer than any of the other colors? Lmk.
knut eliassen
Warm and Comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
You know when you wake up in the morning in your sleeping bag and you don�t want to get out, but you are hungry and have to get the day started - now you dont have to - now you can stay in your sleeping bag and start you coffee in the morning . Its The Best!
Eric Poole
Bit chilly under 40 F
With proper clothing, napsack still proves itself .
Eric Poole
For the bold and unsure
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Not sure what to pack for an over night hike in-hike out? Unsure of what to wear when sleeping in a hammock rig? Or are you just lazy and desire to be naked for when times get chilly? THE NAPSACK IS ALL THIS. "Poler camping stuff " is a grassroots company that wants to apprach camping differently. Being different is good people. Wear a sleeping bag. Snuggies can go to hell. This is light-years away from a television offer you'll see at 11:00pm.
In my camping adventures, this thing weighs less than oh.. 4 lbs, comes in a small length-wise travel bag, (no longer than a sleeping pad) and kept me alive in 32 F. Bag is rated to 50, great in 40, ..but wear some warm clothing in something less. Support functionality and flexibility within your camping supplies. People will be jealous my friends, so keep an eye after it. :)
Lexi Dowdall
This is pretty amazing!
Evan Grott
greatest thing ever?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
YES. it really is, probably one of the best purchases i could have made in my life time, perfect for kickin around the house or taking it car camping on the summer nights with your buds. Perfect conversation piece and totally functional.
How much does the medium weigh?
How much does the medium weigh?

Pajamas will be extinct!
Are you the type of person that loves lounging on the couch? If so, do you have a blanket on your couch to keep your warm? Or are you like me, too OCD to leave anything laying on that beautiful thing? If so, the napsack is just for you! A wearable sleeping bag with a hood? Doesnt get much better for lounging. I got one for my girlfriend and she practically live in the damn thing during the winter. Its an amazing product for casual lounging which is what it was meant for. I wouldnt recommend exposing it to water or the elements, get something a bit more tech for that. But if you are cat napping, couch cold, vanmping, or couch surfing then this is for you!!!
Quiet Camp Vibes
Immerse yourself in the quiet camp vibes of a weekend unplugged in Big Sur California.

The only problem is he just cooked a steak in his sleeping bag. Number one rule is never cook in what your gonna sleep in! The bears will come after you!!

The Arab Awakening: Governance Lessons for Asia and Beyond
Speaker: David D. Arnold President of The Asia Foundation
Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Stanford University
RSVP here
This event is co-sponsored by the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, directed by Larry Diamond at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
The recent uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East represent one of the most dramatic global political developments since the fall of the Berlin Wall. What factors and forces led to the sudden collapse of well-entrenched regimes and the emergence of democratic reform movements across a region long accustomed to hereditary succession and autocratic rule? Does the current upheaval reflect unique circumstances in the Arab World? Or should it be viewed in the wider context of governance issues and challenges that have arisen in Asian and other settings beyond North Africa and the Middle East? As a governance specialist whose international career has spanned Arab and Asian societies, David Arnold will share his insights regarding these questions.

He did it again, with Wlad Klitschko. We can compare Lewis and Wlad until the rooster crows, but the facts show they are mirror image in career terms. Olympic gold medalists who stumbled on the cusp of greatness, and were brought to their potential with perhaps the greatest trainer of his era.
It's a credit to Manny Steward. They are, aside from Hearns, his two greatest tricks as a trainer, and if you look at his past interviews before he died, he heaped respect on both of their abilities.
I think he'd know best, beyond any of us. He knew how badass those two are. I think it'd be a great fight, Lewis would come ready to murder somebody, and Wlad would come in the best shape of his life.
I'd give the Razor Ruddock that Lewis kod, a very live shot against Wlad. Wach landed ONE decent shot and Wlad was disorientated, I don't think chins get better, techniques to stop them getting reached may, but if their vulnerable once ,they are vulnerable always, as Khan has proved. Lewis is a clear level above Wlad ,imo.
A motivated MCall may very well have taken Wlad out too, he had the chin to take his punches, and a big enough right to stop him.
I like Price against Wlad in about a year.

So we play a game after every meal time so we can clean off Thomas' face and then clean his gums/teeth. Our hope is that by doing this now we can instill more of these games, such as cleaning up toys or getting dressed etc. Who knows though, this just may be a stage where he does what we want and as a toddler he does nothing… I'm sure that if we keep this up he will be more likely to allow us to do these things…
I was curious though if more parents do things like this to get the behaviors they want. This is the only song that we sing for Thomas like this and as soon as we do he opens his mouth so we can clean his gums/teeth. He still hates getting his face cleaned, but tolerates it more when we are singing the clean your face song.
Please share in comments if we are just lucky right now or if this behavior will last during toddler age!
32 Responses to "Do You Play Games to Get Things Done With Your Kids? IE Chores/Cleaning?"
"Clean up, clean up
Everybody, everywhere.Clean up, clean up
Everybody do your share."I learned this from the Early Head Start program we have been blessed to have our little participate in the past couple of years. It helps, but the biggest key is consistency – always do what you want to teach. I still have difficulty with that & it shows in her level of cooperation with me.
Thanks for the reply Kina. Thanks for letting me know that we should continue this and that it does indeed work to some degree. If we are one thing, we are consistent
Yes playing games to help the children do chores is always good. I have went through all stages from singing the Barney song like Kina above to giving them stars for completing their chores…it helps!
Thanks Serenity… I remember as a teenager flipping through channels and having Barney come on and wanting to tear my eyes out. Then it was Teletubbies and now I believe Yo Gaba Gaba is the popular show that captivates children and turns them into TV zombies.
You have a good message… you do what works for certain stages and teach them that everyone does their share and has responsibilities!
Yes. Unfortunately, it isn't going to be this easy. And if you're like me, singing to my kids only scares them…even now that they've grown up.
My advice would always be to talk to your keeps. Explain why you are doing everything. Confide little goofy secrets with them. Always be communicating. In your case, if you sing well, sing. Develop trust with the little human the same way you would with a big one.
Just my two cents….
Cute, cute baby!
Thanks for commenting. I'm not a great singer but we figured the singing was something that he responded to. As he gets older the singing may not work and we may have to do something else but I hope it continues to work!
Thanks for reading my blog! I figured it was time to stop lurking and let you know that I read yours as well! I don't really play games to get things done with my son, but when I was his hands and face after meals, or playing outside, I frequently "sing" Just Keep Washing (like Dory from Nemo) while rubbing his hands together, and then make a silly noise while vigorously rubbing his face with a cloth. He likes it, and I guess he sees it as a game. I believe the key is repetition of something, anything, that makes them happy while going through an unpleasant experience like face washing!
Jon that may be it, that may be the reason that Thomas tolerates his face washed and "clean the mouth"
Totally depends on the kid's personality! Miles is very, very independent. It's a "you can lead a horse to water" situation with him. Games and songs do NOT work with him, at least not so far. What works for us is consistent modeling and persistent attempts at enticing him to try things even if he has refused before. So, brushing teeth – Daddy brushes his teeth while Miles brushes his teeth. We let him do it himself. Wiping his face we have just done consistently whether he likes it or not, and when I started noticing that he did not like having dirty hands after a meal, I started offering him a napkin – eventually he started using it! Picking up toys so far is not too successful, but when possible we do it in front of him and comment on the fact that we are picking up the toys… he at least picks up his markers and puts them away, so progress has been made even on that front.
But other kids love games and songs… it really depends. You just have to try different things and see what gets the best response! And definitely adjust as necessary as they grow and change.
Thanks Erin, I'm not sure if this is a phase that we are just having good luck in and will be able to continue this singing to get the behavior we want or if we will have to change it.. I know that within the next few months once Thomas starts crawling around and becomes mobile everything will probably change so we'll see… You all know that I will be blogging about it! Haha!
Nice! Singing is always good, if not for chores then at least for his musical education. Hey, it's a language too!
My kiddies (twins) are now at the stage where they demand to clean their own face after dinner so we hand them a wipe and let them at it. Okay, maybe some extra wiping by mom/dad is required. Also they proceed to clean the table afterwards. I'm sure it won't last but it's nice all the same.-
I was meaning to mention this and I don't know if it has anything to do with Thomas' personality or not but he will wipe his face with his bib if there is more than a little bit of food on it. He does this perhaps a half dozen times during each meal and at first I was having him keeps his hands down because the bib would end up IN his mouth and he would play but now that his motor skills are better I really think he is trying to just wipe off his face a little. He keeps it pretty clean…
I agree with Erin. It depends on the child. I think sometimes parents forget who is the parent and when you have to start negotiating with your children to get them to do what they should be doing in the first place you're no longer the parent. When I had my first child my mother and my grandmother told me to take control in the cradle not when they are toddlers. It will make it twice as hard to get control over the situation. I've never had a problem with my children and I have three. My son was the only one who was afraid of water so bath time was not fun but in his case I did make a game out of it for him so that he could see I was not going to let the water "get him". Brushing teeth was fun for them because they liked electric toothbrushes I gave them "special wash clothes" for them to wash their faces and hands. I choose the softest ones I could find. They picked it all up pretty quickly and didn't fuss when i washed their face. My son would say to me "hurry up you know I am tired". lol He talked very early! Must have been all that reading I did to him before he was born. So what I am saying is if you need to play games to get your child to do something and that works for you do it but how long are you willing to do it? What happens when he outgrows the games and totally refuses to do anything? What are you going to do then? Buy him a toy? Xbox? iPad? Just something to think about.
Lori, Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure what Thomas will be like in the future. He is just now at the age where he can actually understand things through repetition so him learning this was actually an accident. Once we saw that he reacted to it in a favorable way we began doing it each meal-time instead of just every few meals or when we remembered.
I feel like you are judging me without reason (at least in your last sentence). I am by no means a pushover parent. Perhaps I'm overreacting to your comment of just buying a toy/xbox/ipad to elicit the behavior I want out of my son, but truthfully I do not know exactly what I will do then… we aren't there yet. We'll adjust and adapt. Thomas probably will have some of those things, not because I was trying to buy his good graces, but because he earned them in my eyes.
My toddler and I played Cinderella and Snow White. We groused and complained about how much work the stepsisters and the dwarves required us to do. Even though my daughter didn't accomplish much in the way of helping, it allowed me to get my work done while still interacting together. Thomas, however, might object to the role of Cinderella.
Maybe we'll be dwarves and we'll whistle while we work
Whatever works…singing may work now, and lots of good comments above, I also have used the
If this then that approach,
timer, hurry beat the timer approach,
and the stickers on the hand….wallchart approach
But my new, old favorite,
is quietly putting my finger down for my grandson to grab, which he stil does without question……and lead him quietly where I need him to go…I don't talk, that spoils it……this has actually been working with all three, so I pass it along…..-
Some more ideas! Thanks Melinda!
Beat the timer, that is a good one!
Consistancy always helps. Songs, chants and rhymes still get my boys moving when it comes to chores and things like getting ready for bed.
Clean up. Clean up.
Everybody do it.Clean up. Clean up.
It's time to tidy up!I sing this one with my kids to get them to help me tidy up the toys. I learned it at my daughter's preschool when she was about two and a half. She's 4 and my son is 2 now and most days when I start singing the song they automatically start cleaning up before I even get to the playroom to help out.
I think it's a great idea to sing songs and play games to engage kids in chores. Just because something has to be done doesn't mean it can't be fun.
Great Nancy! Glad to hear that you have been using a clean-up song for around 18 months with success! This was exactly the type of reply I was looking for! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
It will probably get a little more difficult when he gets older, but I do sing songs with my daughter to get her to do certain things. Kayla is 16 months old. I sing a clean up song when I want her to clean up her toys. I actually learned it from my nephew who will be 3 soon. He said his mommy (my sister) sings it to him. I made up a diaper song when Kayla was a few months old because she liked to squirm a lot when we changed her diaper. It helped for a long time, but the last few months it doesn't work as much. I sing a scrub a dub dub song when she's taking a bath because she hates getting her hair washed. These songs seem to help, but some of them she seems to grow out of a little bit.
Jenny W-K, how have you been adapting since some of the songs have been "outgrown"? Do you have to be more direct and stern to get your daughter to do certain things or behave during those times or are those times still struggles?
I've been looking up some psychology stuff on babies (of which there are hundreds or thousands) and there are many disagreements about when children can actually understand discipline etc.
We are struggling with diaper time right now since the song doesn't really work anymore. She wants to crawl away, sometimes with no diaper on. I try to distract her by talking to her, like telling her what we're about to do or asking her questions. I may even hand her a toy or something to keep her busy for a moment. I try to adjust. I also tell her that she just has to stay still while I change her diaper, then she can get down. I'll let her down after she gets her diaper changed, but before she has pants on. So then she is happy she got to get down, but she'll come back so I'll put her pants on. Compromise. LOL
I've read a lot of things about how kids at this age can't understand (or fully understand) discipline. I honestly think it depends on the kid. I've done a lot of babysitting over the years (my mom used to run a babysitting service out of our house when I was a teenager), and I have two nephews (one who is now 17 and the other will be 3 next month). I used to watch my older nephew for years, and now I watch my younger nephew all the time. What I've seen over the years is that some kids comprehend discipline earlier than others and to different degrees. Kayla understands no and she understands when she is doing something that she's not supposed to be doing. She doesn't understand WHY it's bad or WHY she shouldn't do something. She doesn't understand that she can hurt herself, hurt someone else, break something, etc. But she does understand, for example, that she is not supposed to touch the remotes if they are left out. She will still try to sneak off and get them, but if she knows she's been caught, she'll actually bring it to me or put it back. At this age, I know there isn't much point in explaining why she can't do something, so Imostly stickl to teaching her just not to do it. She'll learn the reasoning as she gets older. She understands quite a bit though. I also give her time outs. So she knows when she does certain things, she will get a time out. This seems to help her do those things less and less because she hates the time out. At this age, the time out has to be in a play pen or something where they can't get out, because she won't stay put. She's definitely at the age where she wants to test us all the time.
In discipline class we went to, the instructor put it this way… toddlers brains are telling them to "explore explore explore" and while they may remember that mommy said not to play with the lamp, the rest of their brain will usually override the part that does remember what they've learned because they want to touch and see everything!
Thomas is a chore to put diapers on because he is constantly squirming, I push his shoulder blades flat (gently) that seems to help, but he can't crawl away yet… I am not looking forward to that.
Thomas is such a cute baby. :0) Singing is a wonderful and appropriate strategy to use with Thomas for his current age. It should also work well for him during the toddler stage since you have already set this strategy in motion. However, as he continues to grow your strategy will need to change. Keep singing and be consistent…
Thanks T.S.,
I'm not expecting to sing to him when he's 8 years old to get him to pick up his toys or something like that, I hope that he will do that because I told him they need to be picked up.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and sharing on the strategy (at least through the toddler age!).
As someone who is not a parent, I have to say, I'd never think that everything, even something so simple as cleaning your kid's face, requires strategy, forethought, and maybe even a bit of deception.
Things they don't like require strategy.. have you ever seen a child getting their nose wiped in public? That aversion to getting the face wiped starts pretty early…
We play games, sing songs; making daily tasks fun and developmentally appropriate makes life so much more enjoyable and pleasant for all of us! Not everything has to be a power struggle, right? Enough of those come naturally, esp. as the twos roll around:) Great job for being creative with your little one! You asked about completing chores in your post; I have a post written on that topic that I'd love to share with you http://therippleeffect2009.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/accomplishing-housework-with-a-toddler-and-teaching-them-how-to-help/ I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading and sharing; I'm enjoying hearing all about your little one; he is adorable!
Thanks Pamela for sharing that link about chores with toddlers! I'll check it out and hope others interested in it will too!
We did lots of little songs. My daughter loved the toothbrush song "brush, brush brush your teeth" to row row row your boat." As they got a little older and could scrub themselves Hubby or I named a body part and challenged the kids to wash that part. We set it up by talking through the bath when they were little. It's hard to remember quite what we did when they were under one, but I seem to recall lots of songs. When they started walking, we got both to help pick up toys by playing a special "clean up" song – we used a Big Bad Voodoo daddy tune. The sooner they got the toys picked up, the more time they had to dance with me.
One thing I wished I stopped earlier was toe tickles, zerberts and silly faces during diaper changes. The stragegy worked when my son really little, but when he refused to use the potty at age 3 because diaper changes were "more funner" I realized I needed to lay off the games and be all business.
Some great ideas from the other responders too.

Nice writeup. I think Blake's a better ballhandler and more physical than Amare, but he's a more apt comparison than Gooden. Plus, Gooden's a douche – just ask the city of Cleveland.
Recently, I read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs (which I highly recommend) and there was a passage in the book where Chuck Klosterman assails the concept of probability:
Life is chock-full of lies, but the biggest lie is math. That's particularly clear in the discipline of probability, a field of study that's completely and wholly fake. When push comes to shove–when you truly get down to the core essence of existence–there is only one mathematical possibility: Everything is 50-50. Either something will happen, or something will not.
If you are one of those people still holding out hope that University of Oklahoma basketball stud Blake Griffin will continue his career here in the Sooner state, I suggest you embrace Mr. Klosterman's philosophy. I, on the other hand, subscribe to math being all-powerful, and as a result, I am convinced that Blake Griffin in a Thunder uniform is a pipe dream.
Many people who post at OrangePower.com are probably cheering the inevitability of Griffin, who played his high school ball beneath the giant cross at LifeChurch before becoming a Sooner legend, being exported over state lines come Draft Night 2009. While I understand the sentiment, it is ridiculous. Anyone who wants the Thunder to thrive in this state, on the floor and off, should be praying that what minuscule hope remains of the ping pong balls falling our way are enough. The kid would be perfect in the blue and orange/red.
From a marketing standpoint, it's a (not intended as a pun) slam dunk. He already has a built in following from around the state that dwarfs the goodwill the Desmond Mason acquisition brought to the table. Please don't take that as a slam against OSU in the comparative sizes of the fan bases of the two major local schools, because actually I think there are more OSU basketball fans. However, Griffin's talent transcends the Bedlam rivalry. You don't have to like either school to want to watch Griffin play.
Speaking of talent, most NBA draft websites have run with the projection of Griffin as "a more athletic Carlos Boozer." Even I fell into that trap initially. And it isn't a very exciting simile. Sure Boozer is a good, solid big man, but Utah has him now while he is in his prime and they are hoping he opts out of his contract this Summer so they can give his job to Paul Millsap.
Those comparisons came about because Boozer is a big, bruising power forward who can dominate for rebounds and generally hangs around the basket on offense. While those tendencies do describe what Blake Griffin does for the Sooners, the comparison unfairly limits his skill set. Boozer hangs out by the basket out of necessity. Griffin hangs out by the basket because he can. If needed, Griffin could just as comfortably stretch out for mid-range jumpers, and has on occasion shown an ability to dribble with the ball. Neither of those things are in Boozer's repertoire. And the "more athletic" tag is fitting, but again under selling Griffin. Boozer is a practically ground bound player who, even at 6'9″, rarely dunks the ball. Blake won the McDonald's All-American slam dunk competition and has leaping ability on par with Dwight Howard.
As I said before, I initially bought the Boozer link and once mentioned it to Patrick. Then, Patrick came up with a much better player to view Griffin in light of: Amar'e Stoudamire. The Suns' power forward/center is practically who Blake was cloned from. Stoudamire has the strength and the athleticism to overpower, run past or jump over any defender who has the misfortune of being assigned to him.
The one significant difference between Blake and Amar'e is another thing that would have made him a perfect fit for the Thunder. Stoudamire has been quietly killing the Suns for years with his desire to be the guy while letting his jealousy of more popular teammates effect his focus on the game. Meanwhile, Thunder GM Sam Presti has been modeling his team after the San Antonio Spurs, meaning he has attempted to assemble a team of talented but low drama players. Kevin Durant is the perfect center piece, while Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook are great complements. They are all players who really seem to have no interests outside the sport of basketball. More importantly, they do not have the kind of "look at me I am the star" attitude that typically comes with such great talent.
Griffin would fit into the category Presti desires. Just look at this video diary he did for ESPN. He is quite possibly the most boring person who anyone has ever given a crap about. There is no drama to the guy, even when opposing players try to go WWE on him, he quickly finds his zen-center then goes back to playing (and dominating) at basketball.
This all makes it that much sadder that math hates us. Back when P.J. Carlesimo was coaching the Thunder to what appeared to be the worst season in NBA history, there was a 1 in 4 chance that Oklahoma City would get the first overall pick in the draft and the right to keep Griffin at home. So much has happened since then. The core of Durant, Green, and Westbrook matured. Mid season acquisitions of Nenad Krstic and Thabo Sefolosha turned out better than anyone could have imagined. Plus, Scott Brooks has looked like a rising star in the coaching profession. Today, there are four teams that have worse records than the Thunder and one team with an identical record. That team, the Timberwolves, is headed in the opposite direction as OKC, seeming to get worse as the season comes near a close.
With only eleven games left in the season, the draft position is pretty close to set. Assuming the five teams beneath the Thunder don't go on an incredible winning streak, there will be odds of 7.5% for the Thunder to wind up as the first pick overall. Basically, the winning streak has cut their chances to a third. Meanwhile, there is an 80% chance that Sacramento, Washington, the Clippers, Memphis, or Minnesota will wind up in pole position. And give up thinking that the Thunder will attempt to trade up, because nothing short of offering Kevin Durant will convince the GM who possesses that pick to even return Presti's phone calls.
It's a real shame. A starting line up of Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Green, and Griffin with Krstic coming off the bench could have been a playoff team next season and a potential championship contender within a few years. Makes me wish I agreed with Chuck Klosterman.

You're forgetting one thing when it comes to the NBA lottery and math – the lottery is fixed. The ping pong balls are played out behind closed doors, and they usually play out the way the NBA wants them to play out. They wanted Patrick Ewing to go to a big market, wham!, the Knicks get the first pick. Bron Bron going pro? Bam! Cleveland gets the first pick. The Thunder needs to solidify the OKC market? – Craaack, boom!!! – the Thunder will get the first pick. How many first round picks have gone to the team with the worse record the previous year since the lottery was established?
I think the Oklahoma City market is safer than the Sacramento and Minnesota markets.
Plus, if you really think the lottery is fixed, I would be even more scared. Durant and Griffin could become centerpiece of a new dynasty, and the league has already suffered from small market San Antonio dominating for close to a decade.
I'm holding out hope (the Bulls had just a 1.7 percent chance last year, the Bulls had just a 1.7 percent chance last year, the Bulls…)
These write ups are my favorite part of this blog.
[…] join the team, should stop. Is that really happening? Because that's, uh, really stupid. Clark makes a comparison too: "As I said before, I initially bought the Boozer link and once mentioned it to Patrick. […]
Also, OSU fans are seriously rooting against the Thunder getting the top pick because they don't want Blake? Really? That makes my heart sad.
Another fine PL&T Clark! I happen to agree with your thoughts 100%. The idea of Blake playing here is wonderful but it just has such a small chance of happening.
No worries though. I already renewed my season tickets and I look forward to seeing him come to town with Sacramento, or someone similar.
Great write up. I agree with Outlaw. The NBA lottery does have a strange way of working out for certain teams. On another note, one thing does concern me. Can Blake play the 5 in the NBA? Sure he can dominate these kids in college but the NBA is a man's game. He's not going to playing against kids who will more than likely be accountants, insurance salesmen, etc. I've heard he isn't exactly 6'10" which means he could have trouble guarding bigger guys in paint. Having that lineup would be sweet I just don't know how realistic it is.
This OSU fan is not, and I happened to be at a gathering with Mr. Clayton Bennett himself, and he asked me specifically if we (the OSU fans) were going to be happy when they (the THUNDER) aquired Blake Griffin. From his lips to God's (i.e. Stern's) ears I think…..
(and I said YES by the way–as long as Thabo likes him
I feel compelled to add that I, in no way feel justified in representing all the unique, and wonderfully varied rainbow of humanity that IS the OSU posse!
I think Griffin's position depends on the system. Could he play center for the 1990's Knicks? Probably not. For a more up tempo team – which is becoming more common – he would be a perfect five.
Looking at a different perspective, Nick Collison isn't quite 6'10" and he was the Thunder's starting center for a good portion of the season. I think Griffin is more capable of playing big than him since he's stronger, more athletic, and more talented.
He can absolutely play the five. See Al Jefferson, David Lee, Elton Brand (he's played some center in his day), Al Horford… If they can do it, Blake can too.
Griffin should not play the 5. He could fill in the 5 similar to how Collison did when PJ was the coach, but that didn't turn out very well. The 5 is a bad fit. He is a natural 4, especially when it's discovered that he is closer to 6-8 than his listed 6-10.
Your valid observations are making me cry in my cocoa puffs. It really is a shame the mathematical probabilities are against the hometown.
Hey, I know math. Let's see, I have been to 12 Thunder home games. They have won exactly one of those games. There are 4 home games left. If I attend all of those games, they will win only 1/3 of one game.
I think the obvious perfect solution here is for someone to give me tickets to the remaining home games.
Good plan, Sarah. That might get the Thunder ahead of Minnesota, improving their odds from 7.5% to 7.6%.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

Groups/Cohorts |
Immersion Therapy- Study
1. Patients who participate in the immersion therapy post-operative protocol and begin progressive weight bearing at 4 weeks (study)
Control Group
2. Patients who undergo the traditional 10-week non-weight bearing post-operative care protocol (control)
Detailed Description:
Fractures of the lower extremity are common injuries that can lead to temporary or permanent disability.13 Fracture healing, regardless of treatment, is a multifactorial process that is influenced by time, biomechanics, and host biology (among other variables). The degree, timing, progression, and type of weight bearing after fractures involving the pelvis and lower extremities is an area of debate in the clinical management of a broad spectrum of orthopedic injuries.1,2,4-9,11,15 Periarticular fractures of weight bearing joints are an area of particular interest with regard to post-operative weight bearing due to the prolonged periods that patients must be non-weight bearing after surgery.
Some degree of impairment is inevitable with any traumatic injury. The majority of authors writing about post-fracture weight bearing have determined that timing and extent of weight bearing has an effect on fracture healing, while a small number of authors have published results demonstrating the opposite.14,16,19,21 In addition to potential impacts on healing rates, limited or non-weight bearing carries the added insult of loss of bone density and muscle mass.3,10,12,17,20,22
Traditionally, patients with periarticular fractures have been required to be non-weight bearing on their effected extremity for up to 12 weeks. At this institution, most patients have been required to remain non-weight bearing for 10 weeks, followed by progressively increased levels of weight bearing according to patient tolerance. One of the orthopaedic traumatologists at this institution uses immersion therapy to allow patients with periarticular fractures to begin weight bearing prior to the ten-week mark.
Immersion therapy requires that patients perform their physical therapy, with a trained therapist, in a swimming pool. The use of the pool in post-fracture care may be able to provide a structured and standardized partial weight-bearing environment that could allow for early mobilization. It also has the potential to improve clinical outcomes by mitigating at least some of the loss in bone and muscle mass during the post-operative period; thereby, potentially speeding functional recovery. Immersion therapy is currently utilized on-site at the University of Utah Orthopedic Center for a variety of diagnoses, including in post-fracture care.
There is essentially no orthopedic literature regarding immersion therapy in the management of post-fracture rehabilitation with regard to early weight bearing. Specifically, the investigators are aware of no clinical outcome studies that investigate standardized early weight bearing protocols following periarticular fractures of the lower extremity.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
This study is a prospective cohort study with a retrospective chart review. Patients who are treated by the PI, Dr. Erik Kubiak, will participate in an immersion therapy post-operative protocol. Immersion therapy post-operative protocols have been and are currently used routinely by Dr. Kubiak.
Patients who are treated by Dr. Dan Horwitz and Dr. Thomas Higgins will undergo a traditional 10 week non-weight bearing post-operative care per their standard of procedure. In addition, patients of Dr. Kubiak who are unable to participate in immersion therapy for logistical reasons will be asked to participate in the traditional 10- week non-weight bearing post-operative care protocol. These patients will make up the control cohort.

I was thinking something a bit more midieval like catapults, because that's what his spot over on the right feels like.
The only one that strikes me as a bad call-up is Agudelo (and I'm willing to give Klinsmann the benefit of the doubt on that one). The rest is all pretty reasonable.
Williams is the ONE piece that makes the whole Klinnsie scheme work much better. He's essential, IMO. Good call. I'd have preferred no Boca, no Jones and no Gomez, to test the younger ones alone. But still I'm ok with the call. Russia has called several promising young players, like Cheryshev (21, Real Madrid B), Ozdoev (20, Lokomotiv), Grigoryev (22, Lokomotiv), Smolov (22, Anzhi), Dzyuba (24, Spartak) plus several regulars. So it's going to be interesting. ---------------------Howard------------------------ Chandler---Cameron---Bocanegra---Johnson --------------------Williams----------------------- -------------Jones-----------Bradley------------- Gomez------------Altidore--------------Agudelo
No, he is not. This is a friendly. Every match Chandler has played for us has been a friendly. If he is committed to the USA then he would have shown it by accepting a call up to the WC qualifying matches. Instead, he gave us a big "Yeah, right, you and what Sam's Army is gonna make me sully my happy feet on Caribbean cricket pitches and Guatemalan dirt?". As of now he is proven only to be committed to matches which do not commit him to the USA, but do keep him on that expansive list of Bundesliga Boyz that JK is ever a'flutterin' over.
Maybe, we will see this.... ---- Altidore --- - Klejstan - Mix - Gatt - -- Bradley - Williams -- Johnson - Boca - Cameron - Chandler -- Howard --
These threads are always funny. They always prove the maxim "You can't please everyone". JK and his staff can't just go down a list and force everyone they want to fly to Russia for the game. There are mitigating circumstances with every player. There's also a degree of politics between US Soccer and club management. It's a fluid situation that has to be finessed in many different ways. I'm glad to finally see Gatt with the senior side. Glad that Chandler is back, Diskerud gets a trip to Russia with the team, and that Gyau gets to see what life is like with the big boys. This is clearly a game where JK is integrating some of the youth in the squad to see how they do with the big boys. I'm glad that Bradley, Howard, Bocanegra, Gomez, Jones, and Edu are with this group because they are all examples of what a long professional career looks like. Several of those guys are established members of team culture, and can impart on the cubs what is expected in training and on the game field. It is highly unlikely that these young players will come into the game and light up the field. They will probably struggle if they see the field at all. But its good that they get to have a feel of what its like to get in that jersey alongside established veterans and go on a trip to a far-distant country for a good competitive game.
Where did he say it was the only factor? Where did he say it was determinative? If he did not say that, then it is a matter of your reading comprehension.
Go offensive against the Russians in their Russian winter, and you'll pay the price. Remember Napoleon and Hitler. JK must defend a lot at first. I expect them to start with their A-team. Good thing is, Krasnodar is no colder than Seattle.
Bet he's going to try a good showing, to increase his chances of being called to the Mannschaft, from 0.003% to 0.005%.
Translation: his club finally let him go to raise his price and they have bigger fish to fry. Or, he finally grew some balls against his club. Germany was never in the picture. This to me was all about his club. If he finally told them to stick it, happy for him, and happy to have him. Being that there is literally no other RB on this roster (no Dolo?), he'll be playing all 90.
This web site lists Gatt as right-footed, but able to play both right wing and left. http://www.football-lineups.com/footballer/55332/ In any case, I have no trouble swapping Gatt and Gomez. I'm more interested in seeing Altidore as the true striker, and let others play the wings (like Gomez). Seems to me that JK likes Gomez at striker, where he has done well for the US, and the last time Jozy played, he was put out on the wings, where he isn't as effective. I'd rather not see Josy on the wings again. Tip of the spear, like for AZ. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kljestan start, with both Dempsey and Donovan out. But I would not put money on it. I totally understand that JK won't start Jones at CB. That's my pet project, but JK has given zero indication of such a test.
I'm not really sure it was the smartest thing to call in Gomez for this game. Doesn't he have playoffs for his club team this weekend? Moreover, we've seen what he can do and know what he can do, for the most part. There's no reason to use him for this one, unless Juergen is planning on NOT using him, which then raises the question: Why make him jump across the pond and all the way through Europe just to not play, or get substitute minutes? I can understand giving Agudelo a look. As frustrating a season as he has had, he's still really talented and a very hard worker, which makes him quite perfect for Juergen. I hope he gets a look as a winger-forward at some point, because he's great at running at people from the flanks and making the diagonal movements into the channels that defenses have such a tough time coping with.
Are you suggesting that JK has never said that club form is a factor in determining call ups? He pretty much flat out said that was why he excluded Michael Bradley early on his his tenure when Bradley was struggling to find minutes at Villa. And in the case of Edu, the guy has played a grand total of 10 minutes of club soccer in the last 6 months. So if lack of club time was his excuse for Bradley, who is far more important to our team than Edu, why doesn't it apply to Edu? Especially when there are other options that could have been called up at CB, and the fact that he would be a redundant roster selection as a DM. It just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason to how JK selects his roster. It seems that his roster selections are based on a whim, and he just uses club form as an excuse when its convenient.
--------------------Howard------------------------ -----Chandler Cameron Bocanegra Johnson---- -------------------Williams------------------------ --------Bradley----Kljestan---Jones-------------- -----------------Gomez---------------------------- ----------------------------Altidore---------------- Unfortunately, we may struggle to link the mids with the forwards without someone like Dempsey. Looks to be the most likely line-up here though...
Q: Eric Lichaj has started Aston Villa's last three Premier League games, and 12 of 15 dating to last season. But he hasn't been in camp with the U.S. since you've been the coach. How close is he to getting a call-up? Klinsmann: "Eric has always been on our list and the more he plays, the closer he gets. Right now it's not the right time to bring in a bunch of new players. Every coach wants to see young players coming through the system, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Eric for myself, with the group. 2013 will be a big year with qualification and also the Gold Cup. We'll have to build two rosters. Hopefully there's an opportunity for Eric coming up in the near future if he keeps starting at Aston Villa." http://insider.espn.go.com/sports/s...s-soccer-exclusive-interview-jurgen-klinsmann In that interview JK makes clear he only calls players who play consistently for their club. And if their club is in a good league. Lichaj was playing consistently in a top league club. He didn't get the call, though. Because "it's not the right time to bring in a bunch of new players." JK flip-flops so much, he reminds me of someone...
He was never at Villa when JK was manager. He was persona non grata with MGB before the transfer to Italy. He used Michael in the first match vs. Mexico, but left him off and then didn't start him early on with Cheivo. But, yes your point stands that he will play Edu despite the fact that he NEVER plays. Sort of the DMB of JK's tenure so far.

H D - S E N S E IA view on Hi-def DVDs by Gary W. Tooze |
Introduction: Hello, fellow Beavers! I have been interested in film since I viewed a Chaplin festival on PBS when I was around 9 years old. I credit DVD with expanding my horizons to fill an almost ravenous desire to seek out new film experiences. I currently own approximately 7500 DVDs and have reviewed over 3000 myself. I appreciate my discussion Listserv for furthering my film education and inspiring me to continue running DVDBeaver. Plus a healthy thanks to those who donate and use our Amazon links.
Although I never wanted to become one of those guys who
focused 'too much' on image and sound quality - I
find HD is swiftly pushing me in that direction. So be
it, but film will always be my first love and I list my
favorites on the old YMdb site now accessible

The World's Fastest Indian [Blu-ray] (Roger Donaldson, 2005) Review by Gary Tooze Studio: Video: Magnolia Discs: Region FREE Feature Runtime: 2:07:00 Chapters: 13 Feature film disc size: 20.5 Gig One dual-layered disc Case: Standard Blu-ray case Release date: February 13th, 2007 Video: Aspect ratio: 1.78:1 Resolution: 1080p Video codec: MPEG-2
• Commentary with director Roger Donaldson
Disc Product Description: In the late 1960's, after a lifetime of perfecting his classic Indian motorcycle, Burt sets off from the bottom of the world, Invercargill, New Zealand, to clock his bike at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. With all odds against him, Burt puts his irrepressible kiwi spirit to the test, braving the new world on a shoestring budget. He makes fast friends of many he encounters along the way who find themselves swept up in his energy and singular determination. Burt's quest culminates in an unlikely conclusion and remains legendary within the motorcycle community to this day.... The Film: But while supposedly Oscar-worthy films can often be far too worthy in the pejorative sense, New Zealand-based writer-director Roger Donaldson's film is an appealing labour of love. Donaldson, an Australian who moved to Kiwi-land when he was 20 years old, just two years before Munro set his land-speed record and became a national hero, has imbued his film with a winning streak of optimism. That optimism partly arises from the type of man Munro was, a never-say-die, good-natured kind of fella. Beyond that, however, Donaldson has plotted an unflaggingly positive turn of events — something largely out of fashion in cinema in our cynical modern age — which time and again he uses to cleverly wrong-foot the viewer.
Excerpt from Empire Magazine in the UK located HERE Image : NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were ripped directly from the Blu-ray disc. The World's Fastest Indian was projected theatrically at 2.35:1. However, this Blu-ray has an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 with the support the director Roger Donaldson. I think I'd prefer to see it as it was shown in the cinema with some of those great desert vistas presumably looking quite impressive. Anyway, despite a 'lesser' MPEG-2 encoding the image quality of this dual-layered Blu-ray (feature taking up 20.5 Gig) is very strong. Detail, contrast, colors and minimal noise all seem well above average. the expandable screen captures below can probably do a better job of selling the image than I can. Suffice to say I was suitably impressed. CLICK EACH BLU-RAY CAPTURE TO SEE ALL IMAGES IN FULL 1920X1080 RESOLUTION

Bottom line:

Not ready to bid farewell to the holiday season just yet? Thanks to YouTube – and thousands of videos featuring delighted gift recipients – you don't have to.
The latest viral "best gift ever!" video: This clip of diehard University of Alabama football fan Don Buckhannan, who was nearly moved to tears when his son Daniel surprised him with tickets to next month's BCS National Championship game against Notre Dame. Daniel filmed his father being shocked speechless when he discovered the ticket inside another gift; the resulting video has already racked up nearly two million views on YouTube. It also got the Buckhannans a short spot on the Today show this morning:
When I saw Daniel's video, I was instantly reminded of adorable little Lily, who's happy enough when she receives a Barbie DVD, some coloring stuff, and new pajamas for her birthday… then gets completely overwhelmed when her mom tells her that they're taking a surprise trip to Disneyland. Seriously, watching this video will make you feel like you're being hugged by a rainbow:
And then there's this classic clip of two kids flipping out over their new Nintendo 64, which dates from the pre-YouTube era. Note the reference to "Blockbuster," a sort of proto-iTunes known for giving free video cassette rentals to those with good report cards.
What's the best gift you gave – or received – this year? Did it garner this kind of reaction? And what's your favorite video of somebody receiving exactly what they wanted?

The Ontological Function of the Patent DocumentAndrew ChinUniversity of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill - School of Law February 25, 2012 UNC Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2010987 Abstract: With the passage and impending implementation of the "first-to-file" provisions of the America Invents Act of 2011, the U.S. patent system must rely more than ever before on patent documents for its own ontological commitments concerning the existence of claimed kinds of useful objects and processes. This Article provides a comprehensive description of the previously unrecognized function of the patent document in incurring and securing warrants to these ontological commitments, and the respective roles of legal doctrines and practices in the patent system's ontological project. Among other contributions, the resulting metaphysical account serves to reconcile competing interpretations of the written description requirement that have emerged from the Federal Circuit's recent jurisprudence, and to explain why the patent system is willing and able to examine, grant and enforce claims reciting theoretical entities. While this Article is entirely descriptive, it concludes by identifying promising normative and prescriptive implications of this work, including the formulation of an appropriate test for the patent-eligibility of software-implemented inventions in the post-Bilski era.

I agree Hervoyel....it just seems like he buckles when he's pressured. Look at a QB like McNabb...granted he's a rare gem...but he gets pressured constantly and avoids it one way or another. I'm not trying to compare Carr to McNabb, seeing how he's only a junior in the league...but there are average QB's out there that don't take as many sacks as Carr in pressure situations. And it's the QB's job to know how to step up into the pocket and find the receivers....not flush out at the first sign of collapse and panick. That is something I would expect of Eli Manning or any other rookie..not a 3rd year QB who is supposedly going to be great someday. There is partial blame on the line sometimes..but not all the time. Partial blame also goes to the QB's coach who doesn't kick his *ss when he does it 5 times a game.

Posted 28 June 2009 - 06:54 AM
Shindaphina-Soldier-Weaponry-most likely a blacksmith
Daphina-Ranger-Guardianship-not sure here i suppose leatherworking or whatever they wear
Saphina-Magus-Storm-Tailoring (or whatever)
Seraphina-Healer-Spirit mastery (enchanting?)
most likely two will be Talrok and two will be Human
I know the whole dual role thing, but these will be my focus...
Posted 28 June 2009 - 07:35 AM
We may have discussed this in previous topics, but i think i'll stick with Talrok Magus for now. Talrok seems under-represented, i alwys like playing the underdog.
It occurs to me that i've never played a caster-type as my main in my many years of MMO playing. I look forward tot he challenge, but can't help but think i'll get booted from a group when i rush in to fell the mighty Frost Giant in melee with my Hello Kitty dagger and a pinch of fairy dust.
Posted 28 June 2009 - 12:47 PM
*Gasps in surprise; who would have thunk it?*I'll start as a human ranger.
As for me, Talrok for certain, although dependent upon how the Kodian pans out, I might be compelled to try one too.
Magus possibly a healer; might try melee\ranged for a change like a ranger; love pets.
Longterm, a Vesperling, Ogre and Fiend also dependent upon how they look and what skills they possess.
As my forum name suggests, caster type usually but I realy enjoy necromancers and assassins. guess I am just a sneaky, life-sucker type!
Dang, if I follow what I posted, I am going to be one busy bee eh!? Thank the Deities I am one, old fart with plenty of gaming time on his hands.
Posted 28 June 2009 - 01:08 PM
Anyone up for hunting?
Posted 28 June 2009 - 01:35 PM
I'm going ranger so I can support and be able to tank as well! I also have never played a character that had a pet to attack, and this gives me the opportunity. Also, I might solo the first week to get a grasp of things before I actually start a guild and so forth.
Anyone up for hunting?
Beta, although you did not refer to it here, I am wondering as to why you usually refer to MMOPG as M-M-OPG, with the hyphens and no 'R" for the roleplaying...it is just my curiosity. <Grymmoire, part feline he supposes>
